Makes sense to me, as I'm always in hurry to get back to the comments on HN.

I can't disagree with the first two paragraphs, but for the last, what about shutting down entire divisions? If a company invested in a failed product that requires a number of specialized employees, does it imply they were spending money l

Not to take away from the article content, but it is posted on "The Unofficial Facebook Resource". I mean, just compare the time spent on what Google got right, verse what they didn't. And yet the conclusion implies that it doesn't even mat

From the FAQ: "Q. This changes too fast, it always shocks me. A. The f.lux transition can be CPU intensive, so f.lux tries to be polite about it. To make it slow, you can use the special 1-hour slow transition option under settings instead.

Can't recommend this enough. However, I forget it's on at night. When editing images and colors for webpages, I always go insane the next day when I forgot to turn f.lux off and all the colors are completely off. edit: also, direct link -

They specifically say there are two annoying issues this solves: 1. having to"CTRL-S–ALT-TAB–CTRL-SHIFT-R–JOY!", and 2. editing in Firebug "then trying to extract those tweaks back out of Firebug and into your website’s CSS files". As far

Existence precedes essence I came to similar conclusions of this author after reading Camus' The Stranger (and many other Existential books thereafter) in high school. There's no meaning to life other than what you make of it. This auth

I think you missed the point of the essay. You're comparing success to other people, just like Julius Caesar comparing himself to Alexander the Great. You're playing the game. If you want to climb the corporate ladder, you better enjoy ever

I used a netbook for about a year, got a macbook air and haven't used the netbook since. I agree they aren't directly comparable due to the cost and specs difference, but I wouldn't go back to a traditional netbook again so it definately "k

I've spent the last month or so head first learning VIM - I forgot about org-mode before deciding on VIM. There are a number of clones but nothing seems complete. Any recommendations?
